"We've been having so much fun," Ted Gibson — the stylist who put in the extensions – tells UsMagazine.com of Gosselin’s newest look. "She's at a point in her life where she's doing a little experimenting. It's nice on her."

Gibson — who has partnered with AOL StyleList.com for a 10-part video series to show women how to get celeb hair — says Gosselin plans to gradually trim her extensions as her short hair grows out as part of a "transformation" into her new, single life. Her divorce from husband of 10 years, Jon, was finalized last December.

"For whoever might not like her for this or that… I think it's very courageous of her. Women need to be not just settling," Gibson tells Us, "[but] moving on with their lives. If it's not working, get out of it and do something!"

"I don't think so," Gibson tells Us. "She's concentrating on her kids and her show. She has a lot of new things she's working on at the moment. She's adjusting to who she is, and it's really, really great."

Gibson jokes that Gosselin is "high maintenance" –"all women are high maintenance, especially if you have color-treated hair!" — but the new look is easy to maintain with touchups every five to six weeks.
